Mercury Flame Sensor Replacement
The White Rodgers 30A46 005S1 is a universal mercury flame sensor designed for HVAC systems using hot surface ignition. It serves as a direct replacement for compatible manufacturer models in both residential and commercial heating equipment. The sensor monitors flame presence to ensure safe and reliable burner operation.
Universal Bracket And Plug-In Lead
A universal mounting bracket and stud-mount probe allow installation across a range of furnace and boiler configurations without special adapters. The 42 in plug-in lead provides flexible routing to the control module, while the 48 in capillary tube positions the sensing element accurately within the burner assembly. These features reduce installation time and part-matching errors.
High-Temperature Capillary And VA Rating
The capillary tube withstands a maximum rod temperature of 400 Degrees F, giving headroom for normal flame roll-out and prolonged duty cycles. Rated at 90 VA @ 30V AC, the sensor suits standard gas valve circuits for LP and natural gas fuels. It is not suited for millivolt systems or applications exceeding the stated temperature and electrical limits.
